I definitely agree.
However, I think there's certainly a point at which the usage of a given tool is too small to meaningfully impact your actual retention of a skill, and I do think that when these people are just, say, occasionally firing off an email and they feel like the tone is a bit off, having it partially rewrite it could possibly even help them then do better in the future at changing their tone on their own, so personally I think it's a bit of a mixed bag.
But of course, when I look at all the people foregoing things like learning programming languages to ask ChatGPT to just vibe code everything for them, then talk about how they're gonna get a job in tech... yeah, that's 100% past the point of skills atrophying in my opinion.
